Your plugin should have a proper exit code
0 - ok
1 - warning
2 - critical
3 - unknown
This is the main information, nagios uses. All the rest is just for
prosaic purposes :-)
To STDOUT you can write anything you want, it appears in the status
detail:
"OK - current bw: 17Mbit/s"
In case you want to enable some extended monitoring
(performance), you may output the performance data:
"OK - current bw: 17Mbit/s|in:12 out:22"
There doesn't seem to be consens about the line end (at least I saw
plugins writing a new line and other don't.
BTW: I've written a shell based traffic checker - sampling over
the period it's called again. If you're interested - just for curiosity
- drop me a note :)
